For accounting & bookkeeping firms

Run the books for clients, under your own brand

Kanakku ships as self-hosted source you control, so accounting and bookkeeping firms can stand up a real double-entry ledger per client and white-label it as their own.

Wanting the tool to carry your brand, not a vendor's

With Kanakku

White-label the build through custom development so each client sees your firm, not Kanakku.

Challenge

Keying client bills into the ledger by hand

With Kanakku

Use AI extraction with your own Claude or OpenAI key to read bills, then confirm them into purchases.

Challenge

Closing periods and proving the numbers tie out

With Kanakku

Lock accounting periods and produce P&L, balance sheet, trial balance and aging straight from the ledger.

Features that do the work

Frequently asked questions

Can I run Kanakku for multiple clients under my own brand?
Yes. Because it's self-hosted with source included, you can white-label it through custom development and run a separate branded instance per client. See /custom-development/ for white-label work.
Does it consolidate all my clients into one dashboard?
No. There's no built-in multi-client consolidation engine — each client is its own isolated, separately branded instance with its own ledger. That separation keeps client data cleanly partitioned.
Does Kanakku produce the core financial statements?
Yes. A real double-entry ledger gives you accrual and cash-basis P&L, balance sheet, trial balance, plus receivables and payables aging.
Can I customise it for a specific client's needs?
Yes. The source is yours to modify, and our team can take on branded or bespoke changes through /custom-development/.
